.He already missed him, alreadymissed his scent, his voice, the warmth and feel of his hand wrapped tightly aroundhis.Adam knew he was seriously becoming needy, but there was nothing he coulddo about it.The love he felt for Luke was so deep, so intense, that he honestly didn tthink there would be a time when he didn t want Luke, didn t need him.He heard the clock click, signaling another minute gone.Trying to take hismind off the time, which seemed to tick past excruciatingly slowly, Adam lifted hishead and listened to the normal sounds of the classroom.His students were busyreading, the almost silent whispers of pages turning drifting across the expanse ofthe room.Adam smiled, despite the impatience that was starting to gnaw at him.Knowing his students were enjoying the book he d assigned them delightedhim.He never got over how much the imagination and the words of an author couldtransport you to another world, another place, another time, taking you from thisone and into the realms of fantasy in the next.That was what he loved most abouthis job being able to get his students to absorb and relish new things, tounderstand, to accept, to want to learn more.Blind Passion 147The clock ticked past another minute, and Adam began to despair that theremaining eighteen minutes were never going to end.Then he heard a sound at thedoor and turned to face it, intrigued.Someone stood there.A ripple of interestechoed around the room, and Adam got up from behind his desk.And then afamiliar scent reached him.Luke!Luke entered and came straight up to Adam with no hesitation, no caution. Hi, he said, the velvet softness of his voice like music to Adam s ears.Adam couldn t hide his enthusiasm. What are you doing here? he asked,automatically reaching out to touch him. I thought I d help you with that project you wanted. Luke kept his voice lowso his words wouldn t travel to the alert children. You want to see them, right?Shocked, Adam felt his knees go weak. Oh, God, yes! Then come on.Introduce me. Luke gripped his hand and led him toward thefront of the class.Nervous, excited, and filled with an emotion that threatened toburst free, Adam was almost too keyed up to address his students.He hadn texpected this, hadn t even imagined Luke doing something like this for him.Lukehad asked him to bring a picture home so he could see what his students lookedlike.He never thought Luke would take the experience to a whole new level. Class, this is my friend, Luke. Adam clutched Luke s hand tight and draggedit up to his chest, making sure there was no chance Luke could accidentally let go. I want each of you in turn to stand up and say your name and a little bit aboutyourself.Charlotte, we ll start with you. Adam faced where she sat and heard hergiggle, then stand. My name is Charlotte, I m nine years old, and I like reading. She giggledagain, then sat down.She was blonde with blue eyes and a cheeky little grin.Behind her Brian stood. My name is Brian, I m nearly nine, and I likefootball.Brian was a short, stocky child with unruly dark hair and a slightlydisgruntled expression.Then Sally stood, and one by one, through Luke, Adam gotto see his students.The bell rang just after the last of them, Jane, had presented herself.Suddenlythe class exploded in a scrape of chairs and slammed books, and within momentsthe room had emptied with just a few of the children saying good-bye before theyscampered out to meet their parents.Adam stood there, stunned and near to tears.He turned to Luke and was surethe other man could see the emotion on his face. Thank you, he said, knowing itjust didn t come close to expressing how he felt.Right then, Adam knew he couldn tlove Luke any more than he already did. Don t thank me for doing something that was only right. Luke s voice had anedge to it that Adam couldn t identify.If he had to take a guess, he would have saidthat Luke sounded guilty.But what the hell did Luke have to feel guilty about?148 Penny BrandonLuke shifted slightly then, planted a tiny kiss on the corner of Adam s mouth. Quick, before someone tells on us, he said and then started to drag Adam towardthe door. Wait.I ve got to get my stuff. Adam pulled free of Luke s hand and headedfor his desk, gathering up his papers and stuffing them into his briefcase.It wasonly when he heard Luke make a little impatient sound at the back of his throatthat he let him take him by the hand again and lead him out the school.Why was Luke feeling guilty? Or had it been something else he d heard inLuke s voice? Like lust? As they headed toward Luke s car, Adam stopped. Luke,are we going to make love when we get home? Luke s sharp intake of breath madeAdam smile. Is that a yes? You know it is. Got any new positions in mind?He felt Luke hesitate. Some. Want to do something different?Now Luke seemed cautious. What? My ass, Adam said quietly, bringing his face close to Luke s. Want to try itout? Luke s audible groan was all the answer Adam needed.So that was whatLuke had been wanting.So why hadn t Luke just sent him an image? But maybe hehadn t been sure that Adam would let him do it despite Adam reassuring him hewanted it just as much.As Luke helped him into the passenger seat, his body started to tighten inanticipation.He closed his eyes and rested his head, trying to control his breathing,trying to control his rapidly spiraling desire.When Luke climbed in beside him, heheard him moan. Jesus. Can t help it, Adam apologized. Please, just get us home before I lose it. You re gonna make me lose it if you keep looking like that.Adam reached between his thighs and squeezed his thickening erection, bitingback a moan but knowing he couldn t look any more wanton. Then drive quickly.Luke did, only keeping to the speed limit because he had to.When theystopped in front of Adam s apartment, Adam didn t wait for Luke to help him out ofthe car.He headed toward the stairs, and with the confidence born of familiarityand with desperation pushing him, he reached the top and had the door open beforeLuke caught up to him.The second the front door closed, Adam had Luke pinned up next to it, hismouth fastened tightly on his, his hands exploring, roaming, claiming Luke s body.He reached into Luke s jeans and cupped the hard length that pulsed beneath hisfingers, rubbing lightly but with enough force to make Luke whimper. You re gonna make me come doing that.Blind Passion 149Adam shook his head. No, wait, keep it.I want you inside me when youcome, he said, grabbing Luke by the arm and leading him to the bedroom.Lukefollowed, but Adam noticed his feet dragged slightly. Luke? We re really going to do this, aren t we? Luke asked. I damn well hope so.I can t wait a second longer. Then Adam stopped andturned around. You do still want to? Maybe he d gotten it wrong, or maybe Lukehad changed his mind. Yes, I still want to. Then what s wrong? I ve never done this before.Adam moved back into Luke s arms. I know, and neither have I, he said [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
